When uploading multiple files, sometimes my browser will become unresponsive and the following error message will popup:

A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If
it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to
abort the script?

If you press no, the script goes on without being slow. So why there is an error-message.
I didn't use for and while loops. And i didnt's use much code.

Published with Flash Professional 8
I use Flash player 9 + Windows XP Pro SP2 + IE

I'm making an upload app for a client, so how can i get rid of that message?

I'm uploading ± 20 files of ± 0,5 mb. Sometimes you don't get the error message.

I don't think the cause of that error message HAS to be from a for or while
loop...

The message is directly related (I believe) to the % of the CPU required in
combination with the duration of use.

I have also seen that problem when forgetting to put a stop() in appropriate
places, causing a frames code to be called at the FPS rate.

By the way, how big are the files being uploaded?
